两大芯片巨头,官宣并购!

Group 1 - SMIC announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, SMIC Holdings, plans to sell a 14.832% stake in SMIC Integrated Circuit (Ningbo) Co., Ltd. to Hunan Guoke Microelectronics Co., Ltd. After the transaction, SMIC Holdings will no longer hold any equity in SMIC Ningbo [1] - Guoke Micro announced its intention to acquire a total of 94.366% equity in SMIC Ningbo from Ningbo Yongxin and 11 other parties through a combination of issuing shares and cash payments. The company aims to enhance its manufacturing capabilities in high-end filters and MEMS, establishing a dual-driven system of "digital chip design + analog chip manufacturing" [1] - The transaction is expected to constitute a major asset restructuring, with Guoke Micro's stock set to resume trading on June 6, 2025 [1] Group 2 - According to the restructuring plan, the counterparties are prohibited from reducing their holdings in the listed company for three years. If SMIC Ningbo becomes profitable after three years, they may reduce their holdings according to regulations; otherwise, those with an investment period of less than ten years cannot reduce their holdings, while those exceeding ten years can reduce 50% of their shares [3] - SMIC Ningbo is one of the few domestic wafer manufacturing companies capable of providing full-band, all-process filters covering SUB6G. It possesses advanced BAW filter chip manufacturing technology, with its products already applied in flagship models of a leading domestic mobile communication terminal company [3] - Filters are core components of the RF front end, providing wireless communication functions for mobile phones, and their development is technically challenging. The successful application of SMIC Ningbo's products in mobile devices signifies a breakthrough against the overseas manufacturers' monopoly in filter manufacturing, potentially addressing the long-standing "bottleneck" issues in China's communication chip industry [3] Group 3 - Guoke Micro's main business includes two segments: smart vision and ultra-high-definition intelligent display. In its 2024 annual report, the company reported sales revenue of 946 million yuan from its smart vision series chips, accounting for 47.84% of total revenue [5] - The company's performance in 2024 was pressured by slowing market demand and intensified industry competition, with a first-quarter revenue of 305 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 10%, while net profit increased by 25% to 51.51 million yuan [5] - Guoke Micro is one of the few suppliers whose entire product line supports HarmonyOS chips and solutions. Its commercial display chip series GK67 has been shipped to mainstream education machines, conference machines, and general commercial display terminal manufacturers, fully compatible with the HarmonyOS ecosystem [5]
